Overall Game Rating – 3.8/5 Close to Being Recommended!

Finally a game that is close to worth playing for a while. Yes, as stated on the title – it’s Fly For Fun! Although it might be a little kiddy like or ‘childish’ for ‘matured’ gamers in US, but heck it’s a fun game means it’s a FUN game! I love the graphics although I’m using a pretty old system and what more can I say? I’m just using a GeForce 2 and the game runs brilliantly.

A quick glance you will notice that this game is released by GPotato – another good work from them apart from Rappelz. But one thing crossed my mind, are all online games currently operated by GPotato suffer from one common problem? – Lag?

Game Download – 3/5
Although they did not host the server to download the game, there’s actually a plentiful of websites that you can use to download the game. I chose FilePlanet as I’ve already registered a free account and the downloader is already installed in my PC. It took me 4 hours to get the 500MB file into my hardisk. But I got to praise GPotato’s update server for prompt update on their game file. I just spent 45 minutes to update the game unlike A3 which took me a couple of hours.

For this they score high on the game update part but they need to buck up the file downloading process. So it’s still bearable.

Game Play – 4/5
I would say that this game is pretty similar to Ragnarok Online. Given the choice, I would even name it Ragnarok Online 2 – 3D style. The attacking modes are pretty similar. Just point your cursor to the monster and the character will auto attack. Another game that is pretty close to Fly For Fun is of course ROSE Online. The graphics has a uncanny similarity.

Leveling up is pretty easy. You can even hit level 20 in a single day. But one most important factor spoiled the entire game itself – Lag. Yes you got that right, compared to Rappelz their lag is not that serious. But you might imagine that attacking a monster might take a little time. I’ve died numerous times just because of lag – I couldn’t observe how much life I had and pressing the potion button seemed not working! Well it seems better on weekdays and the worst on weekends!

For the character development and skills system, it’s pretty limited. You can only add a handful of skills each time your character levels up. I’ll be happier if they have something similar to Ragnarok Online’s skill system!

One thing that I like about the game is that you can actually FLY! You'll need to take a flying test though! You can either use the broom, a hover board and one more which I forgot.

I’d love to give them 5/5 provided if they would create a lesser ‘lag’ environment and have a better skill system – ADD MORE BANDWIDTH AND COPY RAGNAROK ONLINE!

Game Engine – 4/5
Although it’s a pretty simple game, the graphics are not too bad. It’s acceptable and much better compared to the strip down version of Rappelz. Furthermore it didn’t give any pressure to my old graphics card and I can play the game nicely. The environment is well designed and the sound system is marvelous. So no complain here!
